Renal Cyst: Nothing to worry about?

Well, I'm determined to not live on pain meds.... My insurance doesn't appear to cover any more options, and I'm getting passed around urologists like a bag of money at a party. And, to not be too harsh, I don't feel like I'm being taken seriously when I ask about alternatives to the only surgery that appears to be available in my impoverished location, that has been performed and has failed to relieve the problem as the cyst has re-emerged in the exact location with the exact symptoms as before.

So, I am asking, "Are more options available?"

What I would like, is to have a doctor that believes me when I report serious pain and sickness and that the cyst IS the culprit. And, then explores what, if any, remedies exist seriously.

@samuellandon Are you able to get to a Mayo Clinic campus in Fliorida, Arizona, or Minnesota, or to a large teaching hospital? That might be your best bet. Have you researched any alternative treatments that you could present to your medical team?
